For it is because of this pain that I now know what it means to be alive.
It is the darkness that accents the light.
It is the tears that allow the glint in my eye.

She wastes her life under the covers of her bed.
She longs for release, but chooses to wither away instead.
You see, she is afraid of the horrors that reside within this place.

Just a little piece of hope in the middle of the rushing water.
Look for the next, take a step, move on farther.

I got to get out of my head,
but there are some things I feel need to be said.
Like the wind and the rain, they may not always be desired,
but to continue to thrive, they are definitely required.

like the grass upon which you trample.

but I have the strength within me to overcome my fears
and begin to make the climb.
A climb of faith and hope, and overwhelming joy,

...

Ink splatters, nothing matters.
Dreams collide within the human mind.
Restless nights can lead to dramatic fights,
and it’s the nightmares that take over.
